“I want to apologize to Mr. McCourt, Mrs. McCourt, Mr. Torre, my teammates, the Dodger organization, and to the Dodger fans. LA is a special place to me and I know everybody is disappointed. So am I. I'm sorry about this whole situation.”

I guess I should have said, "Does Manny owe Dodger fans a specific apology?" He's talked individually to McCourt, Colletti and Torre, and had a special meeting with his teammates. Should he put out a statement just for the fans?

It's hard to choose. All three are starting to do well. Two weeks ago it would've been Ethier, 100%, but now that he's getting hot, it's a tough decision. I'm sticking with Pierre since his numbers are starting to taper, and Furcal's improving enough to go back to leadoff.

For goodness' sake, enough with the apologies. What I would *like* is a clear explanation, but according to the union agreement, he is not required to give one. So I'm not expecting one, especially given his recent utterances. Maybe one day he'll phone up Simers and tell him, but I wouldn't count on it. We'll just have to make our own surmises, and get on with things.

the angels chose this year to charge extra for premium games and some cable companies opted not to pick up the extra games. Which means i get to laugh at my roommate, an angel fan on an almost daily basis.
